BACKGROUNDBetter Factories Cambodia (BFC) is an innovative programme of the International Labour Organization that works to improve garment and footwear factory conditions and advance workers’ welfare. It is based on a model of improvement that includes monitoring for compliance with the Cambodian labour law and core international labour standards, and remediation training, advisory services and capacity building activities.

BFC Consultancy is meant for an enthusiastic and flexible person looking for work experience and passionate about improving working conditions in Cambodia’s garment and footwear factories. This work will suit a candidate with excellent communication skills and a strong interest for telecommunications. The purpose of this role is to work in conjunction with relevant BFC staff and other stakeholders to assist two initiatives:

1) The mobile application on Cambodia’s labour law

The project consists of developing a mobile application for androids and iphones based on the content of the Cambodian labour law. The objective of this initiative is to bring the Cambodian labour law to the fingertips of those who research it and to those who work in the industry in an interactive, easy to use format which is searchable and applicable to real-life situations. By making the labour law readily available and digestible for those working in the industry it is envisaged that this application can increase knowledge of the law and help to increase compliance in the industry.

The project aims to facilitate communication with workers through the implementation of a mobile phone IVR system. BFC will use mobile phone communications to both deliver information to workers and to obtain information from them. Designated phone numbers will be advertised through various mediums and promoted in factories. Workers can call the number to take a short labour law focused quiz that will both provide information to BFC about the level of knowledge workers possess and deliver information to workers.
